Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks). -

Seeking Autonomy: Comparative Analysis of the Japanese & South
Seeking Autonomy: Comparative Analysis of the Japanese & South Korean Defense Sectors Master’s Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Adam Gerval, B.A. Interdisciplinary East Asian Studies MA Program The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Philip Brown, Advisor Hajime Miyazaki Youngbae Hwang Copyright by Adam Gerval 2016 Abstract The development of defense technologies has blended economic and national security policies in the postwar era. Many countries have invested heavily in defense industries as a means to stimulate economic gain and technological innovation. However, vibrant defense industries are rarely developed through autonomous production alone. They tread a slow path that often follows shortly behind economic and industrial development, and signals rising players in the international community. However, these developments are often nurtured and influenced by key allies that illuminate both partner’s international and domestic objectives. In this paper I seek to compare the overall historical development of the Japanese and South Korean defense sectors in the post-World War II era. In doing so, I will reveal their technological capabilities, methods for infusing technology into each nation’s defense sector, and finally how these transfers provided the technological foundation for developing defensive autonomy. My findings lead me to argue that the postwar development of both sectors has been path dependent upon the evolution of their diplomatic relationships with the United States. This path has been instrumental in both nations’ economic and technological ascent, but has also been determinant of their abilities and limitations to achieve capability in specific defense technologies. -

C. 20591 Period Covered Aircraft Accident Report December 15, 1973 NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD Washington, D. C. 20591 This report does not contain any new recommendations. The aircraft struck the ground 1.25 miles east of the airport and destroyed several homes, automobiles, and other property. me aircraft's occupants--three crew- members--and six persons on the ground were killed. Two others were injured slight- ly. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and fire. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the-probable cause of this accident was overrotation of the aircraft at lift-off resulting in flight in th aerodynamic region of reversed comnd, near the stall regime, and at too low an altitude to effect recovery. The reason for the aircraft's entering this adverse flight condition could not be determined. Factors which may have contributed to the accident include: (a) Improper cargo loading, (b) a rearward mvement of unsecured cargo resulting in a center of gravity shift aft of the allowable limit, and (c) deficient crew coordination. As the result of this accident, the Safety Board has made several reconmenda- tions to the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. -

, SERVICE PUBLICATION OF OCKHEED-GEORGIA COMPANY / DIVISION OF OCKHEED CORPORATION Editor: Don H. Hungate Associate Editors: Charles I. Gale, James A. Loftin, Arch McCleskey, Patricia Thomas Art Direction and Production: Anne G. Anderson This summer marks the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the Lockheed Hercules; a Volume 6, No. 3, July - September 1979 quarter century of service to nations throughout the world! Over 1,550 Hercules (C-130s Vol. 6, No. 3, July. September 1979 and L-100) have been delivered to 44 countries. We at Lockheed are very proud of this Contents: record and the reputation the Hercules has earned. It is a reputation built on depend- ability, versatility, and durability. 2 Focal Point The Hercules is a true workhorse. Many developing countries depend on it to carry all types of cargo, from lifesaving food to road-building equipment. They carry these cargoes to remote areas that are not easily accessible by any other mode of transporta- 3 tion. An additional advantage is its ability to land and take off in incredibly short 3 Crew Door Rigging distances, even on unpaved clearings. The tasks the Hercules is capable of accomplishing are almost limitless; from hunting hurricanes, to flying mercy relief missions. It is the universal airborne platform. And it is 14 Royal Norwegian Air Force energy-efficient, using only about half the fuel a comparable jet aircraft would require. 15 One of the more interesting aspects of these 25 years is that while the external design of 15 Hydraulic Pressure Drop the aircraft has changed very little, constant improvements in systems and avionics equip- ment have made the world’s outstanding cargo airplane also among the world’s most modern. -

PLRD-82-38 C-5A Wing Modification
Comptroller General OF THE UNITEDSTATES CXA Wing Modification : A Case Study Illustrating Problems In The Defense Weapons Acquisition Process The Air Force had data in 1967 indicating air- frame weight problems in the C5A aircraft’s original design. These problems eventually led Lockheed, the C5A manufacturer, to deviate from contract specifications by reducing wing material thicknesses. Not until September 1971, after accepting 40 aircraft, did the Air Force have enough test data to recognize that the C5A wing might require major structural repair or modification, On the basis of a series of analyses, DOD eventually approved the wing modification in 1975. After this, the Air Force did not evaluate the technical feasibility of other ex- isting lower cost options. GAO believes no other viable wing repair options remain at this time. Since early 1970, DOD has made several changes to its acquisition process which should enable it to deal more effectively in the future with problems such as those which occurred on the C-5A program. This report was requested by the Vice Chair- man, Subcommittee on International Trade, Finance and Security Economics, Joint Econ- omic Committee. 1111118139llllll Ill PLRD-82-38 MARCH 22,1982 Request for copies of GAO reports should be sent to: U.S. General Accounting Off ice I Document Handling and Information Services Facility P.O.

AC-130 GUNSHIP and ITS VARIANTS Research from 10/2010 AC-130
THE AC-130 GUNSHIP AND ITS VARIANTS Research from 10/2010 AC-130 The AC-130 gun ship’s primary missions are close air support, air interdiction and armed reconnaissance. Other missions include perimeter and point defense, escort, landing, drop and extraction zone support, forward air control, limited command and control, and combat search and rescue. These heavily armed aircraft incorporate side-firing weapons integrated with sophisticated sensor, navigation and fire control systems to provide surgical firepower or area saturation during extended periods, at night and in adverse weather. The AC-130 has been used effectively for over thirty years to take out ground defenses and targets. One drawback to using the AC-130 is that it is typically only used in night assaults because of its poor maneuverability and limited orientations relative to the target during attack. During Vietnam, gun ships destroyed more than 10,000 trucks and were credited with many life-saving close air support missions. AC-130s suppressed enemy air defense systems and attacked ground forces during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. This enabled the successful assault of Point Saline’s airfield via airdrop and air land of friendly forces. The gunships had a primary role during Operation Just Cause in Panama by destroying Panamanian Defense Force Headquarters and numerous command and control facilities by surgical employment of ordnance in an urban environment. As the only close air support platform in the theater, Spectres were credited with saving the lives of many friendly personnel. Both the H-models and A-models played key roles. The fighting was opened by a gunship attack on the military headquarters of the dictator of Panama and the outcome was never in doubt. -
